Uranyl hydroxide / Uranyl carbonate j Solubility products / Complexation
SummaryThe solubility of uranyl hydroxide and uranyl carbonate and the formation constants of the complexes present in the supematant Solution were determined at 25°C in 0.1 M NaClOi solutions. The solubility products were found to be logA^,p= -22.21 and log/Csp= -13.29. respectively. In the pH ränge from 4.5 to 5.5 the hydroxo complexes (U02)2(0H)r (lg/? = 22.16), and (U02)3(0H)5^ (lg^ = 53.05) were found. Under the condition -11

A spray-flame aerosol catalyzation technique was studied for producing Pt-Ru anode electrodes for the direct methanol fuel cell. Catalysts were produced as aerosol nanoparticles in a spray-flame reactor and deposited directly as a thin layer on the gas diffusion layer. The as-prepared catalyst was found to be a mixture of nanocrystalline, mostly unalloyed Pt and an amorphous phase mostly of Ru and to a lesser extent of Pt oxides on top of the crystalline phase. The flame-produced Pt1Ru1 demonstrated similar onset potential but

higher activity compared to commercially available Pt1Ru1/Vulcan carbon. The kinetics of methanol oxidation on the mixed phase catalyst was also explored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
